We hope you all enjoyed our 12 Days of Hit Save holiday event! Here's a recap of the what we were able to accomplish:

David Rosen, who helped create Sega and changed the coin-op industry forever, has passed away. www.replaymag.com/segas-dave-r... An absolute titan in video game history. May he rest in peace.

With 2025 drawn to a close, it feels like the right time to announce that I stepped down as CEO at Limited Run Games back in September. I'm still working there as President until March, but after that, I will be scaling back to redirect my focus to new adventures.

Swedish traditions, Donald Duck on Christmas Eve and Dinner for One on New Year’s Eve.

Sonic the Hedgehog review in Mean Machines magazine. Starlight Zone is still some of my favourite video game music. #Sega #MegaDrive #90s #SonicTheHedegehog #SegaGenesis ☀️🌴

Omega 6: The Triangle Stars (down to $3.74), a retro sci-fi ADV written/designed/dotted by Star Fox's Takaya Imamura in collab with Happymeal (Hokkaido Serial Murder Case remake)—I'm shocked it's still so under-the-radar https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/omega-6-the-triangle-stars-switch/

Games made in Sweden stood for 20% of the revenue on Steam in 2025. Pretty impressive considering Sweden’s size of 10 million inhabitants. Source: @alineaanalytics.bsky.social

Back in the early 90’s everyone in Sweden thought we would get the US model of the SNES when it was presented due to the history of Famicom being remodeled to the NES. Glad we got the Japanese design. The magazine Nintendo Magasinet from Autumn 1991 saying “this is what it looks like!”.

What originally prompted me to spend months researching how Sega consoles and games were sold in Italy in the 80s/90s was the fact that I kept seeing people adopting "US memories", remembering things that never happened (like Sega vs. Nintendo ads). That's (also) why preservation is important.

The Starwing competition weekend 1993. I placed 4th at Domus, Kristianstad in Sweden and got a cap. The winner in Sweden received a trip to Euro Disney.

Älskar svensk spelhistoria, speciellt när det hela är ganska dumt 😀 youtu.be/HeRtJm3Yies?...

One of my favorite games on NE S that deserves a modern sequel. A great platform shooter with progression and a bit of metroidvania in an under-utilized setting.

Lars Molander, the CEO of Commodore in Sweden and Atari Scandinavia during the heydays with Commodore 64, Amiga 500 and Atari ST, passed away earlier this year. I wrote a memorial: (in Swedish but fine with Google Translate) martinlindell.com/2025/11/28/t...

Master System was huge in Brazil. Unfortunately, it seems like the new owners of TecToy doesn’t do anything new with Sega.

Nostalgic to find an old game with a price tag from the store NyData where I used to work 1995-1999. Price tag says “BEG” which is pre-owned in Swedish. Extra fun since it’s my favorite SNES game Terranigma. Spotted at Southern Plain Collectibles at Retromania, Norrköping.

Great article on achievements in the latest issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social. I love achievements, it motivates exploration, mastery and understanding the game. Well designed achievements lifts a game.

Visited Retromania in Norrköping today. A lot of toys, games, and other 80’s and 90’s goodies.

Today it’s 31 years ago since Saturn released in Japan and became Sega’s most successful in the country. I loved the Saturn and worked in retail when it launched in Sweden. An uphill battle to promote it. Here’s the Swedish story: martinlindell.com/2025/07/14/s...

This is the most candid I've ever publicly gotten about my life, my career, and my mental health! Come for the story about how I got into video game librarianship, stay for the alarming revelation about the town where I grew up (which continues to influence my approach to history)!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Kojima is back in Sweden.
